It was great to see and welcome 24 juniors at the club yesterday.
We welcomed Christian for the 1st time and Nirvan/ Rinisha & Aman after a break from chess.
Tony our puzzle king took the advanced group of 9 players through a selection of 8 puzzles at different levels. This group continues to surprise us with their ability to get through these puzzles – a credit to them all. One puzzle is below –
Steve took Christian through the basics of chess and we hope he will develop and learn from this lesson. Azhar went through checkmating patterns with Larissa and Markas and hope they will benefit in their games from the lesson.
Eric reviewed simple endgame patterns with King and pawns with Amalee and Pavina.
Martin took the 2nd session advanced group and went through 6 different puzzles and one wild GM game that can be viewed here – https://www.bournemouthjuniorchess.com/games/
Azhar continued with checkmating patters and basic training with his group of Andrew and Nirvan.
Steve went through a refresher with Rinisha of basic moves including the lawn mower technique.
Eric continued basic endgames techniques with Alfie/Victor/Aman who all did well.
I would like to thank Leo for coming along and supporting our 1st session and also congratulate him on his success in the National under 12’s last week of finishing equal 7th in the competition and 14th at National level.
Many thanks to Tony/Martin/Azhar/Steve/ for coming along to support the success of the club.
